Eternity, an age without end — what God has set in the human heart

In Scripture World English Bible

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 God has set eternity in the human heart; the Synodal Bible reads “the world” here, following the Latin.

One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.

Ecclesiastes 1:4 Generations come and go, but the earth remains forever.
